    what I wore : orange you glad

    by Kaylah Stroup February 21, 2013
    details
    coat – Vintage
    brooch – thrifted
    dress – Got the Memo Dress c/o August Wrinkle
    sweater – Charter School Cardigan c/o Modcloth
    ring – Burst of Sunshine Ring c/o August Wrinkle
    necklace – c/o Oasap
    belt – came with the dress
    tights – Target
    shoes – c/o Wanted Shoes
    camera bag – c/o August Wrinkle

    I inadvertently added another camera bag to my collection with this bag from August Wrinkle! I just thought it would make a cute purse but come to find out my camera bag insert fits inside perfectly. It’s actually way better than previous bag I was using the insert in, so much roomier. It also has a ton of pockets which is always a plus. I’ve been pocket obsessed for as long as I can remember. The more pockets a backpack had the more likely it would be the one I chose for my school year. Even to this day my decision to buy a coat, purse or anything really can be based on how many pockets it has. What can I say, I’ve always liked to carry way more stuff than I really need. I mean, c’mon, who doesn’t need a whole pocket devoted to lip balm or gum. Haha!

    Hope you’re having a lovely Thursday!
    xoxo

    PPS. This is the last post (at least for a little while) with blue hair! Last weekend I ventured into new hair color territory. Can’t wait to share photos!

  • 2013 Bulletin Board

    by Kaylah Stroup January 15, 2013

    It’s becoming an annual thing to clear my bulletin board off and start fresh at the beginning of each year. (See 2012’s here) It’s nice to get a chance of scenery in here! I tried my hardest to only include things that weren’t up on the 2012 board but there were some I just couldn’t …
